Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

51,200 divided by 52. (52 weeks in a year.) 984.615385 is answer. So each week he gets paid $984.62. So then we multiply that by 3 since we are finding 40% of 3 weeks of pay. $984.62x3= $2953.86. Then we multiply that by 40%.. $2953.86x40%= Answer is $11181.54

The equation y=2x represents a set of data. Which statement is not true?

Sonja [21]

Answer:

Option D is correct

The initial value is 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of line passes through the origin is represented by:

y = mx where m is the slope or unit rate .

Direct Proportionality says that:

if $y \propto x$ then the equation of the form is y = kx where k is the constant of proportionality.

Given the equation: $y = 2x$

Then by definition:

m = 2

⇒ Slope on the line is 2.

⇒ the unit rate is 2.

Also, the constant of proportionality is 2.

Therefore, the statement which is not true for the equation y=2x represents a set of data is: The initial value is 2

A piece of paper is to display ~128~ 128 space, 128, space square inches of text. If there are to be one-inch margins on both si

Grace [21]

Answer:

The dimensions of the smallest piece that can be used are: 10 by 20 and the area is 200 square inches

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that:

$Area = 128$

Let the dimension of the paper be x and y;

Such that:

$Length = x$

$Width = y$

So:

$Area = x * y$

Substitute 128 for Area

$128 = x * y$

Make x the subject

$x = \frac{128}{y}$

When 1 inch margin is at top and bottom

The length becomes:

$Length = x + 1 + 1$

$Length = x + 2$

When 2 inch margin is at both sides

The width becomes:

$Width = y + 2 + 2$

$Width = y + 4$

The New Area (A) is then calculated as:

$A = (x + 2) * (y + 4)$

Substitute $\frac{128}{y}$ for x

$A = (\frac{128}{y} + 2) * (y + 4)$

Open Brackets

$A = 128 + \frac{512}{y} + 2y + 8$

Collect Like Terms

$A = \frac{512}{y} + 2y + 8+128$

$A = \frac{512}{y} + 2y + 136$

$A= 512y^{-1} + 2y + 136$

To calculate the smallest possible value of y, we have to apply calculus.

Different A with respect to y

$A' = -512y^{-2} + 2$

Set

$A' = 0$

This gives:

$0 = -512y^{-2} + 2$

Collect Like Terms

$512y^{-2} = 2$

Multiply through by $y^2$

$y^2 * 512y^{-2} = 2 * y^2$

$512 = 2y^2$

Divide through by 2

$256=y^2$

Take square roots of both sides

$\sqrt{256=y^2$

$16=y$

$y = 16$

Recall that:

$x = \frac{128}{y}$

$x = \frac{128}{16}$

$x = 8$

Recall that the new dimensions are:

$Length = x + 2$

$Width = y + 4$

So:

$Length = 8 + 2$

$Length = 10$

$Width = 16 + 4$

$Width = 20$

To double-check;

Differentiate A'

$A' = -512y^{-2} + 2$

$A" = -2 * -512y^{-3}$

$A" = 1024y^{-3}$

$A" = \frac{1024}{y^3}$

The above value is:

$A" = \frac{1024}{y^3} > 0$

This means that the calculated values are at minimum.

<em>Hence, the dimensions of the smallest piece that can be used are: 10 by 20 and the area is 200 square inches</em>
